Jenkins to be the new Scott Shanle...

Our 3 safety set is arguably our most dominant defensive formation, who cares if harper is not asked to cover people, rob wants him to rush the passer and rob has brought us a top 5 ranked defense, think ill trust him to be honest

Harper will be asked to take a paycut this offseason to stay, but you wont find a SS as good as harper for cheaper, when harper went down injured, they put vaccaro in his spot and teams ran down our throats

In 2013, his stats were:
68 tackles, 2.5 sacks and 2 interceptions. Plus as I've stated many times he is adept at covering both Tight Ends and Wide Outs. Please stop with the ridiculous notion that he will either be released or traded.

You should add 16 missed tackles as well.

He's neither bad nor good. The reality of it is that he is replaceable.

Jenkins can't play corner and has never adapted well to FS. Bad angle after bad angle with poor tackling and little awareness. Harper is better than Jenkins and he may not be here either. Bush with Vacarro is a solid tandem.

What would you call more ridiculous?

1. You wanting the notion of trading a player that is not trade-able to stop?
2. You wanting the notion of releasing a player that is not releasable to stop?
3. Wanting to keep the 61sh ranked tackler but the 14th highest Cap hit Safety?

Of NFL Safeties
His tackling efficiency ranks 138th in the NFL.
Allowed TDs in his coverage 20th in the NFL.
Yards after the catch allowed 8th in the NFL.
Receptions allowed in his coverage 7th in the NFL.
Coverage targeted in the NFL 10th. <---QBs prey on him.
Missed Tackles 10th most in passing, 18th most in rushing.

He is 5th in pass Rush for S.
4th in sacks for S.

Before you go calling the majority of the board ridiculous you know what you are talking about.

He is only valuable in a 3 S set. Otherwise he is a liability in coverage and open field tackling. He is a mediocre Safety at best but getting paid very well.
